And no, this challenge isn’t about overcoming that awkward moment when you get out of your car in New Jersey and start pumping gas only to look up and find a disgruntled Shell employee looking at you like you just stomped on a nest of baby full-service field mice. That is a challenge, but not this challenge. A few weeks ago it was the Bit of Britan challenge for winning Jersey and Fair Hill together and today there is an announcement about a cool new Jersey challenge.
B.W. Furlong and Associates, one of the best sports medicine practices in the US will be giving a $25,000 prize to the horse and rider combination that wins the Jersey Fresh CCI2* in 2011 and goes on to win the Jersey Fresh CCI3* in 2012. If all these challenges are getting confusing, just remember that if you go win Jersey, Fair Hill, and then Jersey and good things will happen.
